Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee

32-Being Touchy With The Brothers

Author's POV:

"Fine, I will not crack jokes that will upset them," Dream rolled her eyes when she tried convincing Maddox she will be- have in front of his brothers.

"I feel uncomfortable when you act like that," Maddox complained once again, walking ahead of her and reaching for his car. They left the area in a car for a long drive. It took them hours to reach the nearby pack and find a good food place.

After they were done eating, Maddox started driving back. when he noticed Dream staring at him, and that's when the entire argument started. She wanted to know why he wouldn't let her sit with his brothers. "I am a bit laid back type," Dream rushed to block Mad- dox's way and stood in front of the car's door.

"Dream! It is one thing to joke, but to inappropriately touch someone when they are telling you nonstop not to do so is not a joke. How many times has Helel not asked you not to make jokes about his hunk?" Maddox grunted as he deep- ened eye contact with Dream.

"So what if I said his bulge looks like he shoves extra socks in his shorts to make it that huge?" Dream shrugged, and when Maddox grunted, she raised her hands to surren- der.

"Fine! I will not do that," she sighed.

"Learn something from Beatrice. She is so sweet and un- derstanding." As soon as Maddox said her name, Dream nod- ded and scoffed.

"So that's the problem. You just cannot stop praising and comparing everything to Beatrice, can you? And then you say you only kissed her because you wanted to make me jealous. Do you take me for a fool, Maddox?" Dream yelled after hear- ing Beatrice's name.

"Don't drag her in the middle," Maddox warned her, wav- ing his finger in Dream's face.

"Why not? You portray her as this sweet and innocent girl. Well, in reality, nobody is that perfect," Dream shouted till tears formed in her eyes, "Don't you see I like you? Maddox! I have done everything all these years to be the type you like, and suddenly your type changed? Your standard is Beatrice now? Why? What is so special about that bi-," The moment Dream's lips disrespected Beatrice, Maddox acted upon his reflex and wrapped his fingers around her neck. He slammed her into the car's door and drew his face closer to hers.

"Don't ever say that word to her!" Maddox's eyes started to change color. His fingers were tightening around Dream's neck when his phone rang, and he pulled away from Dream in haste and shock. He looked apologetic, while Dream looked hurt.

The moment he took his phone out to see who was calling him, Dream stole a glimpse of his phone's wallpaper.

"Beatrice! Why do you have her on your phone's screen- saver?" Dream gasped, lunging at him to grab his phone out of his hand.

"Back off!" Maddox shouted, checking the text message from Helel instead.

Hunk: Beatrice is badly injured. I am taking her to the hospital. Come quick.

Maddox's heart skipped a beat when reading his brother's text. He lifted his head and looked Dream in the eyes.

"I have to go." Maddox attempted to leave, but Dream sprinted and blocked his way again.

"You are going to be with her, aren't you?" Dream held his hand, begging him not, "I came here for you; you are not leav- ing me," she cried, shaking her head.

"Are you fucking kidding me? Didn't you see what I did to you? I don't fucking care about you. She needs me right now, and I am leaving to be with her." Maddox had enough of Dream's clinginess. He wanted to get away from her and reach Beatrice.

His mind was stuck on her alone.

"No! I am not letting you go." Dream spread her arms and stopped him from getting into his car once again. At this point, Helel knew he had no other option but to get on his feet and run as fast as he could.

"I am leaving to be with her, Dream. And there is no force in this world that could stop me from seeing her tonight." Maddox retreated, stepping back while announcing the words to Dream, who watched him turn around and use all his strength to leave.

"NO!" Dream shouted, stomping her foot and covering her face with her hands, "Why won't you love me?" She cried hysterically, grabbing her hair and trying to pull out the pink extensions.

She turned herself into an emo for Maddox. She heard he was into bad girls, so she did everything in her power to be the kind he likes, but in the end, he fell for someone who didn't even care what his type was anymore.

She got into his car and reached the mountains, but didn't go near the campsite. She stayed far away from where the whole fight happened. While Maddox visited Beatrice, Zane and Helel dragged Gwen's dragon into

a cave.

"I fucking hate this Beatrice bitch and these alpha king brothers who act like they are her guards. Why is she even liv- ing with them, anyway?" Dream grunted, hiking up the moun- tain to find a safe place so that she can transition and run the night around to ease her mind up.

"The alpha king brothers, I can't even tell how long it has been since I have heard of them." Dream was shocked to hear an unfamiliar voice coming from one of the caves.

"What the fuck?" Dream uttered. "Who is there?" she called out, taking slow steps at the entrance of a particular cave.

"Ah! I feel such good energy from you. Who are you, child? You seem special,"

Those were the kind of words Dream had never wanted to hear. Her spine was erected, and a sweet smile covered her lips before she flashed her phone's flashlight into the cave. "But who are you? What are you doing in this cave?"

Dream continued to ask, too scared to enter the cave.

"I am Huia! I have been waiting for a savior like you for over 22 years."

The seer said, making Dream believe she wasn't that use- less after all.

"Come to me, help me. I will grant your every wish," Huia then called her in, using the sweetest tone she kept for this day.

After a minute's pause, Dream walked into the cave to un- chain the devil from the world.
